I find the Audible web site quite accessible using JAWS.
Another very nice thing about Audible is that they have many courses
produced by The Teaching Company in the Great Courses series. They cover a
wide range of topics. I've acquired several by using an Audible credit or
by purchasing one on sale. This is a great way to revisit something you may
have studied previously or to learn about a new topic that is of interest.
This is an excellent deal.

Audible has professional actors reading their books. Most Audible books are
commercial audiobooks but somee are actually commissioned by audible. JAWS,
thankfully, does not read Audible books nor is their a need for it to read
them. NBookshare is another horse entirely. The plus about bookshare is
that it comes in text, with speech and it's cheap. I've found its coverage
not generally to my liking. Audible is only speech, and should be
considered more of a bookstore than the library that bookshare is.
Bookshare's original purpose, I think, was to provide educational materials
while Audible's is to make money by providing a wide variety of reading
materials.
I get by with Audible and NLS just fine; they supply me with more books to
my liking than I can possibly read. By the way, Audible's Platinum
subscription provides 24 books a year for $229, less than 10 bucks per book.
